Background

Organised crime in the UK fuels drug trade, fraud, and human trafficking, harming communities and the economy. We believe the Government must boost law enforcement through increased funding and require schools to teach pupils about organised crime risks and impacts.

Additional details

Crime in the UK costs billions and endangers lives through fraud and drug smuggling. We believe these dangers are not taught in schools and put young people at risk. We believe reducing UK crime and keeping communities safe can be done by boosting law enforcement and education. There are many criminals in UK networks, and we think more must be done about it urgently. We think current actions are not sufficient for public safety and we must take organised crime seriously.
